Well, I cannot provide that right now. If I get a job or something, I'll actually go out, get it, get the scans, etc. I'm planning to get the DMC novels and stuff like that.

And what I'm telling you is that you have it all wrong. The book itself, while has contradictions like any other novel based on a game, is not trying to do that. It's just as it says: a novelization of DMC4. You make it sound like it's trying to attack the games. XD None of us had read it so I can't understand the harsh judging. Dante still killed Sanctus in the book, Dante still had to stop the Savior, Nero still thought Dante was the bad guy, etc apparently. It just happens to have extra scenes not in the game. Happens all the time with novels (Have you ever seen this?). Did you know DMC4 iOS version had dialogue not present? (It actually just has their inside thoughts. I have it)

And, again, DMC is a franchise. Game might be it's most popular medium but not it's only. It's not just the director having the final say so. In techinically, It's Capcom according to their Legal Notices. I can pull that up If you like. But Bingo was the writer and a part of the DMC Development team, which sides within Capcom. He also has a final say. MULTIPLE people have final say. There's not just one guy. The Producer, Director, Writer, Capcom Employees, etc. They're all just as credible! If mistakes were really made between who, they would acknowledge that. And besides, where is it written that only the director's words are facts? All of them work together and collaborate! They share the crediblity. They're not gonna say stuff that they can't say!

The other novels are not like the Deadly Fortune case. The novels were retconned thanks to the Devil May Cry 3 game. Deadly Fortune came after a game and is the most recently released thing pertaining the classic series. It's actually the other way around from the other novels. It's just that people are thinking it's trying to retcon the games for some weird reason. (*scratches head*) It's actually no big deal like people make it to be.
